    I don't like the idea that the administrator can view user files/documents. Do you think the current windows user management should be changed?

      That's the whole idea of an administrator: he is supposed to be able to see things - otherwise he can't fix them for you when you have a problem...

      But Griff, he's got some very important pr0n on the machine that just crashed, and now he doesn't want the admin to find out WHY it crashed! :doh:

            Don't knock them. I've got rid of all my cloud backups - I figure I can just get it back from then when I need to.

              Simple: create a super-admin role.

                  Bad argument; he doesn't need to be able to read each word-document to determine whether the last updates are installed. OT: The admin is the owner. It's that simple.

                        That's only true of the computer my employer owns; it's theirs, they can do what they like with it.
